Hello! Today we’ll be doing something a little different; taking a look at my sewing process when it comes to trying out new ideas. Let’s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Also, please excuse the two-second drawings. \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I drew these illustrations so that you could (hopefully) see what I have in mind. The first photo is what I imagined the front of the shirt would look like, and the second, the back of the shirt. It looks like a plain shirt, but the addition of the buttons on the back would hopefully change that. Also the choice of fabric, which I’ll get to now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Since I wanted to experiment with making shirts out of non-stretchy fabric, I thought this fabric would work. I also used it for a jumper<\/a>. I thought it would be cute as a shirt, especially with some wooden buttons running down the back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to try using the shirt pattern I already made. The only thing was that this pattern was made with stretchy fabric in mind, which means it wouldn’t fit if made out of non-stretchy fabric. I decided buttons would mean the least amount of tweaking to the shirt (to get it on and off), but I would still have to add width to the pattern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I ended up making a mock-up with this drop cloth fabric, which probably wasn’t the best decision. The fabric was actively falling apart as I was working with it, so that was fun. \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cut out the pattern pieces with this fabric; only adding an inch-and-a-half to the straight side of the back shirt panel. The front piece and sleeves I cut out exactly as they were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How the Mock-Up Turned Out:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The front of the mock up looked like this. Does it look a little potato-sacky? Yes. But I didn’t think it was too terrible; if it had a little tweaking done to it, that is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The back was where things kind of fell apart (literally and figuratively). The pattern, even with the extra width, was too narrow at the hips. Technically I could still add buttons, and only fasten them as low as possible; but I’m not sure how that would really look. I will say that a dress form is especially useful for projects like this! Being able to see the outfit on a “person” is really nice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, I hope you enjoyed this look into my sewing process. Hopefully it wasn’t too boring. \ud83d\ude09 Obviously I still have some more to be done on this particular project. The conclusion may or not make it into a blog post. Until next time ~ Emily<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
